Headphones Sennheiser CX 400-II: reviews, review. Sennheiser CX 400-II Precision: reviews

Music is one of the main ways of entertainment since ancient times. It always carries in itself something fascinating and relaxing. Players and phones remain one of the most common ways to listen to music. People listen to melodies, not stopping from everyday worries - on the street, work, at home, in lines. Today we'll look at the headphones Sennheiser CX 400-II, which should help people enjoy a good sound.

Main settings

So, let's begin consideration of the given device with basic characteristics which can be read simply on a price-list from a show-window. The first thing that immediately catches your eye is the price and size. Three and a half thousand rubles for "bananas" - this is a fairly high cost per cat in a bag. Judging by the feedback of buyers, if this accessory was worth at least a little cheaper, then it would be in demand.

Type of headphones - dynamic, closed. However, everything is normal here. The manufacturer does not provide the buyer anything special. In this regard, the Sennheiser CX 400-II is no different from other headphones of the same price category. The reviews on this account are unequivocal: the device reliably restrains external noises, allowing you to enjoy the sound to the fullest.

Physics

The declared impedance of 16 Ohms fully corresponds to its value. The output sound is loud enough and saturated, so that the user does not have to buy additional amplifiers or too much to fuss with the equalizer on his mobile gadget. And the efficiency of headphones is confirmed both on specialized players, and on ordinary mobile phones such as Walkman. Although the difference is noticeable.

The sensitivity of 114 dB also has a positive effect on the technical characteristics of the Sennheiser CX 400-II. With these headphones, even the quietest players and phones get a new sound and delight their owners with a quality loud sound.

Design

Remembering the price of the Sennheiser CX 400-II headphones, the reviews we are considering today, we can not fail to mention some of the mechanical features of the product.

For example, many users are unhappy with the built-in volume control. It is big enough and flimsy. As a result, for most customers, the switch wheel automatically changed the volume level, if it was under clothes. As an exit, people suggest simply dragging it with adhesive tape in one particular position. In addition to unauthorized switching, one more drawback was noticed: after a certain time, the sound in the headphones of Sennheiser CX 400-II can become muffled and quiet. It is only aligned with the exact position of the volume control. Hence we can conclude that the rheostat responsible for the sound may be knocked.

The mount that comes with headphones is very cumbersome. On the one hand, it is uncomfortable and can cling to everything in a row, on the other hand, if you walk down the street in a thick coat, then it will not be difficult for you to hook the headphones. According to reviews, users prefer to get rid of it and replace it with something else, such as a paper clip.

Speakers

The design of the speakers themselves also has its own characteristics. They have only one radiator. This leads to the fact that the whole sound of the melody hits the listener all in one channel. And all frequencies are mixed with each other. In this regard, the Sennheiser CX 400-II receive some negative feedback on the sound quality. At high volume, the upper frequencies can be sharply highlighted. In principle, this should be decided by the equalizer, but why take the device at a high price, if it should then be set up by independent programs?

Another problem that arises with users is the failure of the left earpiece. Always. This can happen in a month, and maybe in three years, but problems often begin with it. Do not be shy to take the warranty card at the store.

Connectivity

Sennheiser CX 400-II, the feedback on which we present today, have good solutions in terms of connecting to the gadget.

A standard 3.5 mm mini-jack allows you to connect this accessory to most audio equipment. A L-shaped contact is designed to protect the wire from damage. And indeed, customer reviews about this moment are almost always positive, but there are negative moments. For example, the plug can creep along the seam and expose the wires. It does not affect sound, but it spoils the aesthetics, because it will have to be sealed or wrapped with scotch tape.

Symmetrical wire length of 1.2 meters is very convenient to handle and allows you to safely carry the gadget in any internal pocket of the jacket. But if you prefer to keep your phone or player in your pants pocket, then the length may not be enough. Feedback about the wires are quite ambiguous. Someone says that the connecting wires are flimsy and easily torn, others argue that they are reliable and durable. Probably, once at times it is not necessary, and the factory marriage makes itself felt.

Equipment

Sennheiser CX 400-II, the review of which you read, are delivered in a sealed package, so you will not be able to check them in the store. The original set includes 6 pairs of ear cushions, a reel for winding, a holder and a small bag for storing folded headphones.

Since the Russian stores are full of fakes of this model, when buying, make sure that the kit is absolutely complete. We have already mentioned the problems of customers with the holder for the wire, now it's the turn of the ear pads.

Here the full order. 6 pairs + one already fixed on the speakers will allow you to choose the ones that are ideally suited for you and your ears. Most of the negative feedback that headphones miss an external sound or sit badly, are connected exclusively with human laziness, because buyers prefer to wear and wear at once, and not try to find the most suitable option.

Conclusion

Another name for the model we are considering is the Sennheiser CX 400-II Precision. The reviews that users leave on the headphones reviewed are completely unambiguous. Despite the fact that people find their shortcomings in them, almost everyone puts a rating of 4 or 5, regardless of where they bought them. All this speaks for the high quality of this device. Let's sum up all the mentioned reviews.

Advantages: sound, sound and again sound. Despite many technical problems and problems, these headphones are ideal for people who are after a quality melody in a good format.

Disadvantages: price and quality. For headphones that have so many implementation problems and technical problems, the price is clearly overstated. And no high-quality sound will not pay off all those problems that the buyer may face.

In general, positive reviews (above 4) account for 70% of comments. Thus, it can be concluded that in the majority of users purchase is happy. The rest, most likely, had no luck either with the store or with the factory marriage. You can only decide whether the risk is worth 30% to spend 3.5 thousand rubles.
